Cherry pie bombs are quick and delicious bite-sized desserts made with flaky biscuit dough filled with sweet cherry pie filling, deep-fried to golden perfection, and coated in a sugary glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1 (16.3-ounce) can of Grands “Big” biscuits, flaky
  • 1 (21-ounce) can of cherry pie filling
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon light corn syrup

Instructions

  1. Fill a heavy-bottomed saucepan halfway with vegetable oil and set aside.
  2. Open the biscuit can and split each biscuit in half using the flaky layers.
  3. Flatten each half slightly using your fingers or a rolling pin.
  4. Place 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling in the center of each dough piece.
  5. Pinch the edges to seal, roll into a ball, and tuck the seam under.
  6. Heat the oil to 325°F and maintain this temperature during frying.
  7. Fry 2–3 bombs at a time for about 5 minutes, rotating to ensure even browning.
  8. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  9. In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and corn syrup to make glaze.
  10. Dip each pie bomb in the glaze and let excess drip off.
  11. Place on parchment or a rack to let the glaze set for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the frying pan to ensure even cooking.
  • Keep oil temperature steady at 325°F for best results.
  • Glaze can be customized with extracts like vanilla or almond.
  • Make ahead and freeze assembled (unfried) pie bombs for quick desserts later.
  • Alternative cooking methods include oven-baking and air frying.
